Column reminded reader of CNY's many gifts

Thank you to Sunday's guest columnist, Brian Humphreys, for opening my 80-year-old eyes to the beauty of Central New York.

Living here in Syracuse/Camillus all our lives, we forget to appreciate what we have. Humphreys' well-written column made me sit up and appreciate what we have right now. He brought alive the people, the climate and the economy in such a way that I will be looking forward to the hills behind our house for the brilliant color of fall and next snow-covered hills. The picture by Mike Greenlar is just spectacular. Where else do you see a full moon rising so majestically over a farm and hill of Pompey?

Thanks again for choosing a lovely Oswego girl and Central New York. You made my day!
